I spent three months grinding through ML tutorials. Here’s what I’d tell myself at the start.

1. Math first, code second

You can copy-paste model code without understanding it. But when it breaks, you’re lost. Spend time on linear algebra and probability basics — it pays off later.

2. Start small

Don’t start with GPT or diffusion models. Start with linear regression on a CSV file. Understand what a loss function actually means.
